Kimberly Thurston-Brown
Kevin M. Ford, LPC, LCADC, ICADC, SAC
Professional -> I am a clinical social worker with 20 years of mixed elementary and middle school experience which includes work with kids/tweens/teens with learning disabilities and/or emotional (predominately anxiety, anger, self-esteem)-social (mild autism spectrum disorder)-behavioral (covers a wide range!) needs, parent support, formal parenting program, and NJ special education. In addition to that, I have had an outpatient office and provided in-home therapy to children, teens, and their families regarding a wide range of needs. I have worked privately with adults as well. Personal -> I am a married mom of two, and we have 3 dogs (dogs for the win! - although we also have three hamsters and two degus). I love a traditional board or card game (Uno, Connect 4, Scrabble, Othello are my top!) and I bring excitement to any board/card game as if I were at a live sporting event. I always find a way to use humor to my work - - even Dad jokes get me laughing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will get to know each other a bit (me knowing about you is just as important as you knowing about me!), work out some of what you wish to accomplish, and discuss some ways that your goal can be achieved.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One thing that is true about me is that I really enjoy people's life stories. I love to learn how people exerience similar situations differently, how their cultures and families and life circumstances have shaped them. Another strength I have is the ability to ensure that I am understanding your words, thoughts, and goals. I never assume, and often check in with a client if I am understanding - this is important for all of us to be well understood. I myself am humble enough to share that I am aware of my own imperfections in the roles I have in this life. Like everyone, I have experienced life's ups and downs, and I acknowledge that it has taken a while for me to embrace my awesome messiness. That is important for me to share because I understand the process... And never are two situations the same!
